> Where have you been?
I should ask the same.
I got blocked which kind of pissed me off. You know when you get pulled over and you didn't realise that you were doing anything wrong, which is worse than when you know that you are speeding.
So, how's my Gracie? You took time off too. We were all worried. I hope everything is OK in your part of the world.
I'm so unhappy now. This position is opening up to be a social worker for the County nursing home. I've been knocking on doors trying to help desperate people so long I'm losing my mind. Anyway, this other person is going to get the position because of seniority not competence. It sucks. My wife is unhappy at work. The kids are away at college. Most of my good friends live in other states. My dog loves me but his licks on my face don't make it better.
Otherwise, everything is great.

And not sure it was even good for me, but it happened just the same. Me?... well I am sinking into quicksand at the moment and it is past my boulbus hips and of course I can't get out myself and I refuse to grab the rope swung my way.

Oh now Susie Q, I have, nor will I ever say that I don't like you. I can be a witch (insert b for w) as often as possible, but I never intend to hurt, mame, or deface. I like you, you bring out the sensuality in me. Or should I say, sexuality.

OK, OK, I'm here, sort of. I think I've mentioned this before, but my wife, you know the one who I painted the hall with, well, she hates me on the computer. Every time I try and tell her that I need to associate with people who understand the struggle of having an illness, she gets paranoid that I'm having cyber sex or something. Um...
Anyway, it's nice to hear you guys mention me, you too alex, cause I thought that maybe no one cared. PB is like a river, when you're thrown on to shore, or in Grace's case swim to shore, you watch all the rest of the posters just keep flowing down the stream. I wasn't sure I wanted to jump back in.

Yes, alexandra. That's kinda freaky. I saw someone I thought was AG. I was just experimenting. Hoping there might be a better place to go. It doesn't look right for me. I'm kinda stuck here. I don't even remember what I said, you could tell it was me just from my name? You're psychic or something. I'm flattered.

And you would be right.

Hate to break it to you, but 'Topher' isn't that much different from 'Toph'. Not only that but someone asked whether that might be short for 'Christopher'.
Babble is my home too.
Feel better for an admin rant :-)

Yes well I remember you saying your first wife was named Susan etc etc your second wife was jealous la-la and right away I figured she sure as shootin' wouldn't want you posting to another Susan so I have been keeping very quiet about you. We don't want you getting into any kind of trouble over a website.

Well I think I also told you that I once loved the mother of my children who I stayed with despite the inignity of living with a person who loved someone else, and that I love my second wife very much who I don't make happy because I'm so bummed a alot and I also think I told you that you have made me blush several times or at least I should have told you and I'm telling you now that sometimes you do what you have to do, Susan.

I'm sorry I made you blush, Toph. I loved someone else while I was with my husband but I had the honesty to leave him. hmh. That was one of the hardest decisions I ever had. I remember telling my therapist at the time, the one I loved, you know, that I was leaving my family. I remember how decidedly casual I was about the whole thing. I remember him nodding supportively, acting not surprised. I remember surprise at his nonchalance, and realizing that he was mirroring me. I realized how surprised I was at myself, that I could just up and out with a major life decision like I was reciting the dinner menu.

In reply to Don't be surprised this is about my T, Toph., posted by Susan47 on February 8, 2005, at 13:56:36
He was a really good therapist.
Hmh.
Too much transference all around though. And of course, therapists aren't allowed to be honest about their own transferences. Hmh. What a fr*gging life. I hope fr*gging is in the filter because if it's not then I'm probably up for a Block. And if I am, this time, it better be survive-able (survivable, is that a word?).

So, let me get this straight, you left your husband who you didn't love anymore for your T? Do you mean that you fell in love with him or you love(d) him? I can only guess that by not acknowledging his transferrence for you that this romantic relationship didn't go anywhere.
Also, don't think because I was devastated by infidelity that I have any regrets about what happened other than leaving my kids of course. I wish I could have just walked out with some dignity. I become incapacitated with that kind of pain.
Susan, I wish I knew how to tell you that you are really great.

In reply to Re: this is about my T, posted by Toph on February 8, 2005, at 17:47:56
Toph, I'm incapacitated by that kind of pain, too, but it's only ever happened because I did it to myself. Well, okay, once, Once, a boyfriend fooled around on me and I thought that hurt, but it wasn't anything compared to how I can make myself feel with just my own thoughts.
I didn't leave my husband because I fell in love with anybody. I left him because it was intolerable to stay any longer. I was obsessional, depressed and suicidal.
But it so happened that my therapist was a gorgeous man who paid attention and made me feel more significant than I had in many years. So. Is that love? I don't know, but I made it into love because that's what made me feel like I wanted to live. And I'm still using it 'cause it still works. Who knows if it's real. Who ever knows. Like I think you said earlier, we do what works.
